How Focused Are You?

Distractions are the enemy. Distractions destroy creativity, momentum, and focus. They seek to dominate you, much like the addiction seeks to dominate the addict. They will if you let them.

If you want to cultivate a lifestyle that enables intense focus every day, where your influence is enormous and your efforts are hyper-concentrated to create incredible results . . . . .

You must remove all barriers that make this possible.

Only Question Is, Is It Transferable Between Owners?

Bugatti offers 15-year warranty as part of its Veyron Loyalty Maintenance Program

There’s great news for Bugatti Veyron owners as the automaker recently introduced the Loyalty Maintenance Program to help customers maintain the condition of their cars and to allow them to keep their vehicles in mint condition.

The Loyalty Maintenance Program is actually part of the company’s Extended Warranty and Extended Warranty Plus programs, which can last for as long as 15 years. Owning a Bugatti Veyron can be very expensive; the maintenance costs alone are already high. The brand hopes that this program will help reduce operating costs for owners.

Franco Utzeri, head of Bugatti Certified and Financial Services, says that the Bugatti Customer Service is definitely more than just a seal of approval, making a difference for Veyron owners. It includes warranty, individual support, and a combination of a confirmed vehicle history. The automaker’s goal is also to give their customers a unique experience and 360 degree ownership that no other automaker currently offers.

For customers who would like to earn a Bugatti Certified seal, their Veyron must first pass an inspection process. Here, everything will be tested and if necessary, some parts will be replaced - and this includes mechanical bits as well as body parts. Your vehicle will also go through an update. In the end of it all, a Bugatti Certified seal will be given to the car owner, while also extending the car’s warranty.

A number of different maintenance packages will be offered to Veyron owners, who will then choose depending on which one fits their lifestyle the most. With this much variety, it goes to show that Bugatti really considers its spectrum of customers, as they can provide to a very diverse group of individuals.

I Do Some Of These Things From Time To Time

15 things you should be doing after work instead of watching TV if you want to be happier

1. Read

3. Call a friend
  • Catch up with someone you haven't talked to in a while — you never know what the conversation can lead to.
4. Or meet up in person
  • Rather than going home right after work, meet up with someone and grab dinner or drinks. Just make sure to put your phone away and give them your full attention.
7. Meditate
  • This doesn't need to take up all your free time. Set aside 10-30 minutes right when you get home or right before bed to calm your mind. Here's how to do it if you're new to the practice.
15. Make a list
  • It can be about anything — maybe you need to lay out your groceries for the week, or want to compile your favorite companies to work for, or have been meaning to jot down your New Year's resolutions. Take the time to write them down, then come up with a plan for how to execute on them. An easy way to motivate yourself to follow through.

This Is Going To Have 1 Lucky (& Wealthy) New Owner Soon

Final GT40 Mk. IV, all-original Shelby 427 Cobra going to auction 

They'll be auctioned by Gooding & Company at the Amelia Island auction 



It's the last of 12 GT40 chassis built by Ford for 1967, the only year Mk. IV GT40s raced because of rule changes for 1968. And when it was built, it was really just a chassis built as a spare for the cars Ford took to Le Mans. The chassis made its way to private owners in the intervening years, one of whom collaborated with a former owner to finish it into a complete car. It has the correct dry-sump 427 V8 making about 525 horsepower and a correct 4-speed manual transmission. The project was finished in 1987. Of interest to potential buyers, the car is now eligible for participation in FIA-sanctioned vintage motorsports events.
